Manchester United 'Utterly Condemns' Racist Abuse Directed at Ashley Young

Manchester United have said the club "utterly condemns" racist abuse directed at Ashley Young on social media.

The 33-year-old played the full 90 minutes as the Red Devils were beaten 3-0 by Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday, meaning they were eliminated 4-0 on aggregate.

Per BBC Sport, United hit out at the "racist social media comments" and said they were "working to identify individuals involved" in order to take the "strongest possible action."

On the pitch, it was a challenging night for Young and his team-mates in the United defence as they were pulled apart by the brilliant Lionel Messi.
